Hunting...

Our yard is beginning to look like a mogul slalom ski mountain, but for the lack of snow. The mounds are courtesy of not little moles as we first thought, which Bob only learned first hand when he was face to nose with the creature one night. No wonder our deadly worm treatments were not working, these gophers are vegetarians! Back to Internet research, selection of treatment and parting with hard earn dollars in the local hardware store for yet another attempt at clearing out yard from uninvited visitors. Since the boys had heard that Bob has actually come face to nose with one, they immediately turned to their weapons. Loaded up and suited up with safety goggles, they dutifully followed Bob around in the hope that one of these critters would be popping its head up. It would be interesting to see whose reaction time is faster - boy vs critter... We never found out the answer.. someone must have alerted the gophers that we were on the hunt.
